FMGs make up 23% of the US physician workforce, and 24% of residents. The heaviest concentration of FMGs is in New Jersey (50%), New York (48%), Florida (42%) and New Jersey (38%). Almost half of all FMGs (48%) train in primary care specialties vs. 33% of U.S. graduates. The largest national groups are from India 20%, Pakistan 12%, Philippines 9% Ex-USSR 3%. Of the 196,576 total FMG population, 85% are involved in patient care, the rest in research.

Just some useless facts that I ran into that I thought some might find interesting. Good luck.
